Maybelline fit me matte and poreless foundation

Bonjour!

Foundation for me, is one of the most difficult things to buy. I have very fair and oily skin, so trying to find the perfect shade and right formula isn't the easiest task in the world. 

Before my trip to NYC back in December, I decided to watch a few American haul videos to see what was new in the drugstores across the pond. One foundation that caught my eye was the new Maybelline Fit me matte and poreless foundation.

 I haven't tried any face products from Maybelline as I haven't been sure how they'd last on my skin, so I was very excited to try this foundation out. I picked out the second lightest shade, however it is a little warmer toned than I'd usually wear so I think I could have gotten away with the lightest. 

The formula isn't too thick or thin, it has the perfect consistency for me. Because the foundation isn't too thick, it allows more coverage on the skin and means you won't use too much product. 

I'd say this is a medium to full coverage and can be built up without looking cakey. The finish is matte like the name would suggest, and it definitely gives an even and flawless finish. I use a beauty blender type sponge and find this way gives the best coverage and finish. 

The biggest test for me with any foundation is how well it lasts, and how well it wears off on the oiliest parts of my face. This is hands down, one of the best foundations for staying power that I've tried, it even beats double wear for me! I applied this at 6:30 am and throughout the day it didn't seem to budge at all. I checked my make up before removing it at around 7:30 pm and barely noticed any difference. It had started to disappear from my chin, which is where I always loses make up, but it didn't look cakey or even that noticeable. I definitely think that I could have just topped my make up with more foundation or a little concealer and I'd have been good to go. 

When this hits the shelves in the UK it shall definitely be my new go to foundation. If you have oily skin and find it difficult finding a foundation that will last, this is absolutely worth a go.

Max factor facefinity all day flawless 3-in-1 foundation

Bonjour!

Foundation is probably the one product that I have issues with.

I have combination skin and find that the majority of foundations I've tried don't last as long as I like and tend to oxidise - even when I use the lightest shade.

After reading some rave reviews about Max Factor's facefinity all day flawless 3-in-1 foundation (what a long name!) I decided it was worth giving it a go.

The first thing that I really like is the packaging. A clear glass bottle with a pump, yup I'm easily pleased. I find it so much easier when products come with a pump as it allows you to control the amount of product you're using and it's more hygienic.

Now, because I have combination skin, I always use a primer so I haven't tested this to see how it holds up without. However I will say that because this is a medium to full coverage it does act as a concealer which is a massive plus if you're not a fan of wearing too many products on your face.  Two out of three ain't bad right?

As well as being a high coverage which is a massive plus in my books, it's also a matte finish which is something I always look for with having combination skin. This lasts on my skin better than any other foundation I've tried, I apply my make up at 6 am every morning and sometimes don't get home until 7 pm, and my foundation is pretty much the same as it was when I walked out of the door that morning.

After years of searching for the perfect foundation, I think I've finally found it!
